Hinds asked questions on the minds of many who voted for change

Dear Editor,

Apparently David Hinds has invoked the wrath of the AFC for daring to offer some constructive criticism. I was present at an APNU+AFC rally in Queens in March 2015 when Moses Nagamootoo, in his speech,  described himself as having “the skin of a rhinoceros” in response to shouts from a small group of placard bearing anti-coalition protesters gathered outside.

I would humbly suggest the other leaders of the AFC make haste to develop this ‘thick skin’, an essential element in politics, which seems in short supply among some in our political hierarchy. Dr Hinds, with pen, not sword in hand, was simply asking the questions on the minds of many patriotic Guyanese who voted for change. Better must come from our leaders. Indeed, it is time, is it not?

Yours faithfully,

Yuri Westmaas
